?Our athletics program is an integral part of the 20 Year Morgan Renaissance that we so proudly celebrate this year,? said MSU President Earl S. Richardson. ?We have made significant progress in many areas of the university and our athletic programs are no exception. With the wealth of knowledge and experience that Mr. Kerr brings to Morgan, we are convinced that he can help make the difference for our program and our student athletes.?
Before coming to Morgan, Kerr was the athletic director at Southern University from 2000 to 2004. He was instrumental in the expansion of Southern?s A.W. Mumford Stadium, and spearheaded the $2.5 million video spectator scoreboard project, giving Southern the largest I-AA scoreboard installation in the country. Kerr was also responsible for forming a partnership between the nationally recognized sports marketing firm, New Vision Sports Properties, LLC. This collaboration helped to increase corporate sales by more than 1,000 percent. Kerr also served as assistant Athletic Director at Youngstown State University from 1993 to 2000.
Ranked 75th on Sports Illustrated's 101 Most Important Minorities in Sports in June 2004, Kerr has served as a member of two of the NCAA's most prestigious committees, the Division I men's basketball tournament selection committee and the issues committee.
